Come to the reaper sing the song, bringing death to everyoneOnce the earth was calm and safe, but now the land's a battle placeFiring shells into the air, where they land, no-one caresNow the blood flows like a stream, widowmaker reigns supreme

Dogs of war, no surrender (*)Dogs of war, I kill the defenderDogs of war, Scream into battleDogs of war, it's the day of the jackal

Nothing seems to ease the pain, the reaper's shadow still remainsSniper lets the bullet fly, in the distance someone dieThe town becomes an empty shell, come and spend a day in hellForgotten what we're fighting for, no-one wins this bloody war

[Repeat *]

Lay the wreath across the flag, fill another body bagGuard of honour standing proud, put your son into the groundDid they die for you and me, a sacrifice for libertyA generation dead and gone, the reaper sings his deadly song
